"Whereas it is necessary for that support of government, for the discharge of the debts of the United States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise:"[1]
The founders would know what to do.
Apples and oranges.
The Founders were in a different position entirely. The threat was not cheap labor; it was the absolute control by the Crown and requirement to buy all manufactured good from England and the duty to provide raw materials in a "price control" environment.
No one, presently is prohibited from manufacturing anything they wish. The present pursuit of cheap labor is driven now by unions, and the endless pursuit of every union, public and private, to forever coerce wages for themselves higher than every other union, reinforced and enabled by the "support" of a corrupt government, seeking power, and exchanging mutual support for votes.
That has enabled most politicians in my lifetime to end their careers infinitely richer than when they started.
Charles Rangel?
Really??
And the hedonist, ignorant "entitled" voter has been perfectly willing to play the endless game unable to grasp that it can't last forever.
There is a limit to everything.
